Next to our favourite dresses and styles, we would also like to share with you some activities we did. Last week we we decided to try out a newly opened burger restaurant in Cologne called "Burgerlich". The place is really nice and modern as you can order your food via computers. The offers and prices are also quite good. A normal hamburger costs about 5 € and a Coke 3 €. What we liked most is the offer of homemade lemonade with special flavours like citron with lavender or raspberry with cider vinegar - awesome!!! It is really worth a visit!

For the Home - Hallway Decoration
After living in numerous places just on an interim basis for almost 6 years now (during my bachelor studies, while I was on my abroad semesters, while working at Lake Constance and now in Cologne) I finally decided to get my real own place. No sharing with room mates, no compromises with a small and unfunctional kitchen or a green tiled bathroom or anything else that annoyed my during the last years. Everything is supposed to look exactly how I am imagining it.
My new apartment will hopefully be completed end of the year. During this waiting period I am thinking of how to decorate every new room. Today I would like to show you how I am planning to decorate my hallway.
As you can see in the floor plan, my hallway is really narrow and has not a lot of space for furniture, also it has now window. So I decided to make it light and add a pop of color. The Louis Ghost Chair is perfect, as it is transparent and I can put my purses or coats on it while coming back. As there is a lot of wall space I want to build a little gallery wall with paintings in pink and gold all via Etsy. I am exited to see how it will turn out.

Favourite Summer Dresses Part II
This is currently my favourite summer dress. I especially like this nuance of red. Combined with wedges, it is very casual and nice for a walk through the city. Combined with heels it can also be worn at work or on more formal occasions.

Shoes: Tommy Hilfiger Denim (similar here)

Summer Basics Part I
I bought this top in last years sale at Zara. It was winter then and the plan was to wear it below a light blazer but with the high neckline this did not look too good when I tried it at home. So I had to wait until warmer times to wear it alone. At first I stuck it in the pants but now I like it better falling loosely over a light crème jeans. The silver detail makes the top look good on evening occasions but it is also a great outfit for warmer days at work.
Top: Zara (sold out but similar here)
Pants: Bershka (similar here)
Bag: Louis Vuitton
Shoes: Buffalo (sold out but similar here)

Favorite Summer Dresses Part I
Today we would like to show you some of our favorite summer dresses. I just ordered this dress from Love via Asos, when it arrived I was confused with the slit in the middle, as this was not really visible on the website. I think it should not be a big problem to stitch it up but I am not sure about it yet. The colorful bag fits surprisingly great with the patterned dress, combined with simple shoes and a blazer for colder evenings this makes a great summer outfit for me.

Welcome
Weclome to Coacktails and Skinny Jeans, a personal life and style Blog.
We are Vanessa and Christin, two mid-twenty women living in Duesseldorf and Cologne. We met about 7 years ago at the beginning of our Bachelor studies, we then continued in the same Master program and now even work at the same company in the same area, so we thought: why not have a blog together as well? The idea occurred a while ago and since then got more and more real.
We are both interested in fashion, interior design, good food and pretty things and would like to share all of that with you on our blog.
Enjoy
